Research Study

This research paper investigates the rotational behavior of a golfer’s body during a swing. In the past, researchers have analyzed gymnasts and divers while their bodies were spinning in a free fall. For golf, the analysis gets much more complicated because the player stands on the ground and adds torque to the system. This study investigates an important question:

Do professional players manipulate themselves in a certain way to maximize their body’s twisting ability? (much like a professional gymnast or diver doing flips)
